Antibiotics for the treatment of prostatitis
Let us examine the last group of drugs in more detail.
Fluoroquinolones are relatively recently developed modern antibacterial agents. They have several advantages over other broad-spectrum antibiotics. Drugs in this group have virtually no immune deficiency. Fluoroquinolones have an even wider spectrum of action on microorganisms.
Formulations of the tetracycline group may also be used. Usually, these bases are prescribed for infectious and chronic prostatitis.
Antibacterial drugs are prescribed only after infection testing. Until the results are achieved, symptomatic therapy is performed to relieve pain and inflammation.
Antibiotic treatment lasts for about a month, followed by clinical monitoring of the patient's condition.
We bring good results with complex therapy, which aims to increase the body’s general and local resistance to disease-causing factors. Only then can there be a complete recovery or long-term remission.
